Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title

  I’m truly happy for you, to each their own… but the soulless, empty cash grabs that they turned them into, when all they had to do was port the original to modern graphics and maybe change the combat system (up for debate, not the issue here) is painfully obvious to any who look.

    I would call them anything but soulless. I think the love of the game shines in every corner of the titles.

    I find it odd that you admit people can have different opinions (“to each their own”), then in the same breath imply anyone who doesn’t agree with you is blind/not looking (“obvious to any who look”).

    Whether you want to believe it or not, I grew up on original 7 and my brothers and I probably have thousands of hours between us in the game. I replayed the original on PS4 leading up to Remake, and replayed the original again on Steamdeck leading up to Rebirth. I think it’s fair to say I’m a fan of the original, and the remakes both.

      It is possible for people to like stuff and it still be an empty, soulless cash grabs. We all have our guilty pleasures, and I’m not here to shit on anyone for liking it. I’m here to shit on greedy, corporate assholes who think they can just roll out a bullshit product and are entitled to our money.

      I’m glad you were able to re-establish the nostalgia and love you had for the original through the remake. For many though, it wasn’t there. The empty maps, the story that just kind of rounded up to a big nothing burger… I appreciate the attempt I suppose, but this wasn’t it, and I fear they will repeat the same minimal effort cash grab on this one as well.

        I feel like you have no idea what you’re even talking about… “Remake” is the title of that portion of the story, the game is basically a sequel to the original FF7
